美國當代福音樂天后[艾美葛蘭特]──流行/民謠/當代福音抒情曲──[El Shaddai/全能的神]
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
El-elyon na Adonai
Age to age Youre still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai
Through Your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
And through the power of Your hand
You turned the sea into dry land
To the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by Your might
You set Your children free
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
El-elyon na Adonai
Age to age Youre still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai
Through the years Youve made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldnt see
What messiah ought to be
Though Your word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your son
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
El-elyon na Adonai
Age to age, to age Youre still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, el Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise You ‘till we die
El Shaddai

1982年5月,21歲半的美國當代福音天后艾美.葛蘭特(Amy Grant)發行第四張專輯〔Age to Age/時代對時代〕專輯(Myrrh出版),
由Brown Bannister製作, 開始融入明顯的流行曲風。
獲得高度讚揚, 成為當代福音樂的經典作品。
反應成功, 最後在美銷售突破100萬張,
這使艾美成為當代福音界首位拿到金/白金唱片的歌手,對這種只在基督音樂商店販售的小眾樂風來說,算是相當傑出的成就。
〔Age to Age〕讓艾美開始打入主流市場,奠定其‘基督流行樂女皇’的地位。

首支派台主打是[El Shaddai/全能的神]
由Michael Card, John Thompson創作,靈感直接來自聖經經文,並由Michael Card收錄於他1981年的首張專輯《傳承/Legacy》中。
歌名源自猶太教中對上帝的稱呼。
副歌部分約有一半的歌詞使用希伯來語,在當代基督教歌曲中較為罕見。
艾美版被製作成一首流行/民謠曲風的當代福音抒情曲,旋律悅耳迷人,
在優美鋼琴和吉他聲中,艾美以柔和唱腔詮釋對上帝的尊敬。

[El Shaddai/全能的神]登上當代福音音樂雜誌(CCM)的福音熱門電台單曲榜亞軍,成為這首歌最著名的版本.
2015年,艾美推出選輯[Be Still and Know... Hymns & Faith/靜默,並知道…讚美詩與信仰],重新製作演繹成民謠/鄉村樂版本.
